Butterfly Wings Cape for ChildrenI had no plans to sew a butterfly wing cape for my daughter, until I came along with this amazing fabric at Hancock Fabrics. It is a sheer fabric with eye catching rainbow colors. All my materials were rainbow colored, including fabric, ric rac border and the thread.

Butterfly Wings

Materials: 

  • 3/4 yards sheer / light fabric (60″ width)
  • Ric Rac border
  • Thread

Butterfly Wings

Directions:

  • Hem the edges of the fabric
  • Pleating the fabric, pin the border in the middle to make the torso.

Butterfly Wings

  • Cut pieces of the border to make handles and pin them on the upper corners of the fabric.
  • Create shoulder straps, making 8 loop with the border and pin it on the middle top.
  • Try it on to see how it works.
  • Sew all the ric rac borders, i.e. middle for the body, upper corners for the handles and shoulder straps  on to the fabric.

I am a mother of two and a type of person who you would call “Jack of all trades, master of none”. As you might guess from categories, I love my children, reading, sewing, gardening, traveling and cooking. I also work full time so I have to be practical to do all the things I want to do in a 24-hr-day. More About Me
